Ar-Arbis Falls are also known as Maar-Arbis Falls 

 

 

 

Abra is full of Adventure and the hike to Ar-Arbis Falls doesn’t disappoint. There is so much to see and learn along the way. The Palsuguan River is the biggest source of local exotic fish such as – Ludong, Kampa, Igat, Bolidao, Ikan, and Fresh Water Shrimps as big as Tiger Prawns. Traps called Bukatot, made from bamboo and held in place by piles of large rocks can been seen at strategic intervals along the river.

 

 

The actual hike is really easy with no technical parts. Most of the hike is along the dry sometimes rocky river bed. The scenery is absolutely stunning with bright green covered mountains that slope steeply from river to sky and dwarf us hikers. The river for most of the way has two channels of flow, leaving a vast stone desert in the middle. Just imagine the power of the water after a Typhoon when it is full and flowing at its total width of around 200 meters.

After an hours hike we drew close to within sight of the Ar-Arbis Falls. In the distance we could see numerous cascades of water springing from the vegetation that covered the mountainside. They stretched for fifty or more meters along the rivers edge upstream from the huge main cascade which was somewhat isolated from the smaller cascades.
It took a while to take in the raw beauty of what we had come to see. Water, Mountains and Sky all combined to create this scenic wonder of Nature. 

 

 

To arrange a trip to the Falls or for more information please visit or contact Ms.Nestle Anne Banaga or Mr.Joe Ervick Biyang of the Tourism Office at Lagayan Municipal Hall.
